  1. Yes but it has calculated that based on the 4.0 cm vital zone radius. you will need a much smaller target area for an air rifle. Just read your question again. look up maximum point blank range and that should explain all you need.
  2. I have never understood why we don’t have desalination plants. we live on an island, so surely it would be easy to do.
  3. Yeah i have a sub 12ft/lb one while my buddy has the FAC version. what would you like to know?
  4. I thought the law was that you can’t use lead SHOT, which would not cover bullets or pellets. Or do I have that wrong?
  5. I shoot airguns, shotguns, rimfires and center fires and have not noticed a problem. You just have to remember what you are using ? But seriously, as long as you practice with both and don’t mix up the techniques you’ll not have a problem.
  6. Sold Thanks BSA airgunner
  7. Eley .22 subs 40 grain hp I have 250 of these to go as I am not using them anymore. £20 collected from near East Grinstead
  8. Always have the 1/2 choke in my 391. Never found the need to use anything different
  9. I use a red light most of the time. the main one I use is a evo t75, but you don’t really need a torch that big for rabbits. The T50 would be totally fine . Ludicrus lumens also do a lot of good kit.
  10. Hi, I do a lot of lamping for rabbits and Fox. first of all get yourself another torch for scanning and carry the rifle on a sling. This is a lot safer and will also reduce the fatigue of holding the rifle for scanning. As for the rabbits running before you can get the shot, this could be a few things but difficult to diagnose without seeing what you are doing. They could be seeing you, hearing you or winding you. They could also be getting lamp shy, but still, good field craft will help. Move quietly and practice getting the rifle onto the sticks without making any noise. Move into the wind or with it crossing so they can’t wind you. Remember that their main senses are hearing, smell and ground vibration. They are also not blind. Watch your background so you don’t get skylined. I hope there is something there to help you or maybe you already know all this. Good luck and remember to have fun.
  11. Normally game bore 32g 6s. But I also really like Hulls super fast 29g 6s.
  12. Give F A Andersons in East Grinstead a call. when I was in there last week they had just taken one in to sell.
  13. I use Wipe out/ Patch out. Never used a bristle brush on the .243 just patches until clean. I don't know about other people but this way I never need a fouling shot to get back on zero as it is bang on from the first shot.
  14. I have the 67 with red led and it is on par with my nm800 with red led. I have the nm800 on the rifle as it's more compact and the evo 67 for spotting.
  15. Watched them. Thought they were very good 👍
  16. I bought the evo 67 with red led which arrived a couple of days ago. Not had the chance to try it in the field yet but first impressions are good.
  17. When I did my application I used the guidelines on the BASC website. It was far better then the police guidelines for completing the forms.
  18. It all depends on how efficient your firearms team are. Some are really bad while others are good. I am lucky as mine are good. I moved house 2-3 months ago. Informed the firearms dept and sent my certs off. They were back in just over a week all sorted.
  19. Looks like this. Costs about £12.
  20. Well I probably could live without it. It would make some things slower like getting back to customers, emails, banking ,etc. The only real problem I see is how would I access Strelok :o
  21. I use one and is always the first gun I pick up for pigeons or any shooting really. Always been reliable and as its the synthetic stock it really has been used and abused, but you wouldn't notice. It is also very soft shooting compared to other guns that I have used. One thing I do is always use 70mm shells, If not I get the occasional mis-feed. We are talking about one in every 40-50 shells. Not much but annoying when it happens. Otherwise never been a fault.
